Knockout League is a boxing themed reflex VR game. Note that I said it is a boxing themed VR game and not an actual boxing game. This is where a lot of the dislike of this game comes from. So let me get this out of the way right now: If you want a realistic boxing simulator buy 'Thrill of the Fight'. If you want something a bit more 'arcade-y' but still mostly boxing, get 'Creed: Rise to Glory'. If you just want a good VR game in general and you're okay with a boxing theme, then get Knockout League. I own all 3 and I feel like all 3 have their own virtues. Anyway, the basic premise of Knockout League is that it's kind of a fictional boxing league and I say 'kind of' because depending on the fighter it can be anything from pretty close to actual boxing to nothing at all like boxing even remotely. The game is very reminiscent of the Punch Out!! games on Nintendo, but ported to and designed specifically for VR. And this works. It works really, really well. It's important to understand the basic flow of the game: You wait for your opponent to launch an attack. You then react to the attack by dodging in the proper direction or timing your block. If you do it right, your opponent is stunned and you speed bag on their face. If you do it wrong you take damage. And that's it. You don't throw feints, you don't move your guard around, you don't try to sneak in jabs. It's a scripted fight and you have to follow the script. Again, this is Punch-Out!! in VR, not actual boxing in VR. If you're okay with that then this is a very good game. If you aren't okay with that, buy a different boxing game. There are 9 fighters and each has a normal mode and hard mode. The hardmode cranks up the difficulty not just by giving your opponents more damage, but by making them faster, making them better at disguising tells, and sometimes outright giving them new attacks. There is a scoring system based on keeping your multiplier up by not getting hit, which provides a good amount of replay value by encouraging you to compete for higher scores. Additionally, there are training mini-games which are fun in and of themselves. So all in all, for the asking price I think the game has a pretty good amount of content. Overall, this is a fun game and feels professionally done, unlike a lot of other VR titles that feel an look thrown together and half-finished. The soundtrack is also pretty good, with songs that range from just okay to actually really good. The visuals are crisp and work well. About the only downside I see is the lack of a need to throw actual punches outside of one specific fighter and one specific training mini-game. Otherwise you'll mostly be speed-bagging on your opponent's face and taking the time to actually throw a proper punch with proper power behind is counter-productive. But again, that's why I said this is really more about being a good game in general than being a good boxing game. If the game made it so all you had to do is block or dodge and just took care of countering and damaging the enemy for you it would still be a good game.

This is a fitness game. If you have a problem with high speed movements you probably won't like this. For the people who want a thrilling, intense VR experience, they're going to get it. I honestly just bought this game because it looked like something that would get me exercise as well as entertain me with some challenges. I saw the Iron Maiden was added recently, meaning we can expect more fighters and challenges. The first thing I tried was the fitness trainer. This mode itself can be its own game. You have a red ballon (right hand), a blue ballon (Left hand), a Soccer ball (block), and a dumbbell (dodge). Easy mode is not easy, and it's amazing. The ballons and fire rate isn't exactly random as it is a series of rapid combos that increase in speed. You'll often have series of three balloons that'll come in arcs which end up being a hook punch, straight punch, uppercut, etc. They get mixed in with quick jabs, dodges, and blocks. My first time around was a blast once I got the hang of what hand was what color. After that it was a just trying to beat the score. Each round you get better and better and the adrenalin starts going. Then you're exhausted. There's also a calorie counter in the game as well.

Be aware! Besides the nice feeling of nostalgia this game is getting me severe dyspnea and chest pain. My heart rate rises to 200 and I need to rest after each fight. I love it. :)

Punch-Out!! in VR. Get ready to burn calories *Reviewed on the HTC Vive* Let me preface this by saying I've been taking MMA for 5 years, including boxing & muay thai. I still have to take breaks between sessions & fights to wipe off all the sweat. Knockout League is probably the most polished VR boxing game to come out, yet. The game looks gorgeous. I can max out the graphics options, even on a GTX 970. With 9 varied opponents & 3 tiered training modes, it has a lot to offer. Each opponent has a different strategy, so throwing 1-2-1-2's won't win the match; neither will a tricky offense, unfortunately. Being patterned after an arcade boxing game comes with its own pitfalls. Your offensive game exists primarily blocking/slipping/bob&weaving your opponent's attacks, then countering with a 6-10 hit combo. When you're sparring in real life, anything more than 2-3 strikes will only tire you out. A competent opponent would cover up, counter, or step out of pocket, by then. It also doesn't have the strategic depth that I was hoping for with feints, parries, set-ups, etc. Bob & weaves can be tricky, and VR tracking also can't effectively tell the difference between a light/probing punch and a power punch. That last point is a limitation of VR, in general. My criticisms belong to a niche - minor nitpicks that could make a great game even greater. I think this belongs in every VR gamer's collection.

This game is as close to Punch Out as you will probably ever get in VR. It is great fun and very exhausting!
